The Donald: America’s Shadow Steps Out Of The Looking Glass (P1)

by  • 

Donald Trump has been on TV since 2004, sitting at a big desk with the stars and stripes behind him. He wasn’t the president then, just pretending to be a boss on the reality TV show The Apprentice. He looked menacing and said, “You’re fired”, and rewarded contestants if they were “good”, and appeared to be in charge of something important. Now he has stepped through the screen and will soon — if all goes according to plan — be sitting in the real Oval Office, making real decisions that affect the lives of millions of real people around the world. (Neptune […]

Cutting Your Losses Is A Learned Skill

by  • 

Mars is the planet the rules all cutting. The concept of cutting your losses is a learned skill rather than something you can reliably leave to human nature. I learned to cut my losses by playing cards as a kid. There … Read More…

  • Mars in Aquarius opposite Vesta in Leo: 4 degrees
  • Mercury in Sagittarius sextile Mars in Aquarius, trine Vesta in Leo: 4 degrees

Mars/Vesta suggests actions blocked by opposing focus. Or, tension arises as an agitator steals the spotlight.

Mercury is the solution, as it akes harmonious aspects to Mars and Vesta. Innovative communication/ideas will be fired up by Mars, as words are easily put into action. The trine to Vesta adds focus and purpose to an ideal, cause or new area of learning. If there is resistance to action, put your intentions into words. Openly communicate what you’re going to start, and the enthusiasm that’s generated should help you move forward.

The Sun conjoins Mercury in Scorpio, at 4 degrees. Clarity pierces the shadows, revealing secrets or additional layers. This superior conjunction may be connected to September 12th’s inferior conjunction at 20 degrees Virgo (when Mercury was Rx). The facts that were illuminated then are peeled back now. A richer understanding is achieved.

This connects to Venus in Sagittarius’ square to the Mercury-ruled North Node in Virgo/South Node in Pisces, at 11 degrees. Venus in Sag triggers a point of tension. The restless desire to expand or take an emotional/financial leap may bring you to a crossroads. The North Node and Mercury in Scorpio say the way forward involves carrying the facts to their ultimate conclusion. The time for vagueness or escapism is over. If you’re going to jump in, make sure you know exactly how deep the waters are, what you really want, and the potential consequences. No excuses. 

Mars in Capricorn makes a sextile to Chiron Rx in Pisces, at 21 degrees. Quiet healing is achieved with sober, determined actions. Doing what needs to be done, and doing it with focused efficiency, will move you along nicely. Disciplined actions carry you over awkward patches. This will happen so smoothly that one else may notice. But you will. Tackle the sore spot and keep marching forward.
